Cultural Center Survey

Cuesta College

Student Life & Leadership

 

Greetings!

 

Student Life and Leadership is reestablishing the Cultural Center this semester! It is located at the far end of the cafeteria (SLO Campus) in rooms 5104A and 5104B. Traditionally, Cultural Centers were created on college campuses to provide a safe place for students to express who they are, learn about their heritage, gain a better understanding of the culture and heritage of others and become advocates for social justice. We need feedback and ideas from you about the kinds of activities you would like to see hosted by the center.

 

TAKE THIS SURVEY

 

At the end of the survey, you can choose to be entered into a drawing by entering your name and email address. The prize is a $50 Amazon gift card.

Thank you!  Your feedback will help us create the college experience that you want to have.

 

Sincerely,

 


Anthony Gutierrez
Student Life & Leadership Coordinator

Academic Profiling

 

"Academic Profiling:

What's happening in our schools, and why

should we care?"

 

 

This talk focuses on Gilda Ochoa's award-winning book Academic Profiling: Latinos, Asian Americans and the Achievement Gap. At a time when politicians and pundits debate the sources of an achievement gap, this talk uses powerful interviews from students, educators, and parents to expose multiple gaps reproducing racial, class, and gender inequalities. In spite of these patterns of inequality, this work finds hope in the students and teachers who resist academic profiling. 

 

Following her presentation, Ms. Ochoa will facilitate a discussion focusing on developing a blueprint for an institutional and pedagogical action plan.

 

Thursday, 14 April 2016

11am – 1pm ¨ Rm. 5401/Polycom N3213

 

Gilda L. Ochoa is Professor of Sociology and Chicana/o-Latina/o Studies at Pomona College and currently the 2016 Susan Currier Visiting Professor for Teaching Excellence at California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo. She writes and teaches on Latinas/os, education, and race/ethnicity. Her newest book, Academic Profiling: Latinos, Asian Americans, and the Achievement Gap (2013) was named as in a Huffington Post article as one of 35 books that all educators of African American and Latino students must read. It has also received awards from the Asian American Studies Association, the American Sociological Association, and the Society for the Study of Social Problem for its focus on race and eradicating racism. Ochoa's earlier books include Becoming Neighbors in a Mexican American Community (2004), Learning from Latino Teachers (2007), and Latina/o Los Angeles (2005), co-edited with her brother Enrique C. Ochoa. Her work has also appeared in Rethinking Schools, Truthout, CounterPunch, Alternet, and LA Progressive.

 

A product of public schools, Ochoa was born and raised in La Puente and Hacienda Heights, California. She received her B.A. in sociology from the University of California, Irvine and her Ph.D. from UCLA.

 

This event is a collaborative effort between the Human Development Division

& the Cultural Diversity/Student Equity Committee.

CALL TO ACTION the Jane Goodall Institute's International Mobile Phone Recycling Day



  •  CALL TO ACTION

    the Jane Goodall Institute's International Mobile Phone Recycling Day

  • About Call to Action

    Call to Action is an international effort of the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to inspire action around recycling mobile phones (and other used electronics). Through these actions JGI is raising awareness about how such efforts can help promote conservation of critical habitats across the Congo Basin and around the globe.   Many of the metals and minerals used in these technologies are extracted from threatened chimpanzee habitats across the Congo Basin. Control over these resources has also fueled conflict among people — conflict that has resulted in the deaths of more than five million people.   Beginning on January 26, 2016 citizens around the globe can participate in Call to Action by gathering used electronics — especially mobile phones ― and sending them to one of JGI’s recycling partners. With one simple action, JGI’s friends and supporters are helping protect chimpanzees and their habitat. 

  • Get Started

    Around the globe, members of the JGI family are actively promoting mobile phone and other electronic recycling.   Below you will find links to these countries and more information on how you can participate in Call to Action near you. 

  • Background - Why Are We Doing This?

  • Join Dr. Jane

    Watch the video above to hear from Dr. Jane about the importance of recycling your mobile phone.

  • Already Recycling Your Electronics?

    AWESOME! Good for you. Call to Action isn't just about getting started, its about telling the whole world about how important it is to recycle your used mobile phones and other electronics and prevent them from ending up in the waste stream.    Tell the world about your efforts and why its so important to you to recycle. Share this page on social media and use the hashtag #Call2Action16 to join other leaders around the world in this very important action to help the forest homes of chimpanzees and many other endangered species.

  • Help Us Spread The Word

    One way everyone can participate in Call to Action is by sharing information about the Jane Goodall Institute's International Day for Mobile Recycling with family, friends and followers. You can participate in JGI's Thunderclap campaign and help amplify our message about the importance of recycling mobile phones and other electronic devices. Pledge your social networks below.

  • Let's Connect!

    Have questions about the recycling your mobile devices?

  • Presented by the Jane Goodall Institute

    Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute continues Dr. Goodall’s pioneering research on chimpanzee behavior — research that transformed scientific perceptions of the relationship between humans and animals. Today, the Institute is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. It also is widely recognized for establishing innovative community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa, and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots, the global environmental and humanitarian youth program, which has groups in more than 130 countries.   To connect with the Jane Goodall Institute in your country visit, www.janegoodall.org/offices.
